Kent State University at Salem Top Questions

Dear past me, It's been a year now and how things have changed - you wouldn't believe where I am now. Remember all those scholarships you didn't fill out your senior year? I do. I hope you don't. Seriously - you got so lucky with your scholarship from Kent, that's helped immensely. Going to Kent Salem isn't all that different from high school, it's just much more time consuming and there's so much more writing, but it's not bad at all. We both know at this point that you want to transfer to the main campus sometime - possibly sooner than expected now. At least get in the habit of filling out those scholarships. I think you're doing everything else well - you're ready for this. Your bank account isn't and you know it. Either way, it's going to be great! I'll see you in a year, Present me

I would tell myself to be sure to not slack off at all. Even the slightest slip up in college can make all the difference in when you graduate and your overall loan balance. I would also tell myself to pay on your student loans as much as you can throughout your college days! You never know what will happen and what can prevent you from paying for your loans. I ended up having to take a semester off of college because I was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and had to have surgery and chemotherapy/radiation and that will definitely put a damper on paying for college!

If I could give myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to learn better study habits. The ones I have used during high school have not fully prepared me for the work load that comes with college. In college you learn a lot more they sane amount of information, but in a shorter time period. Because of this, you cannot wait till the last minute to study and cram the night before. You have to continuosly keep up with your studies and work between all of your classes.

My advice would be strongly based on focusing what I truly enjoy doing and to not make decisions short minded. The first half of my academic career was spent changing majors and although I gained a lot of knowledge in different areas, it has taken three years to find what to truly makes me happy studying and since I have improved my grades drastically. Most importantly I would tell myself not to stress and worry about doing what most see as a "smart" choice as a career and to focus on what makes me happy. At the end of the day, the only person I have to live with everyday is myself, and doing what makes me happy is more important than societies ideas of what makes a person happy. To trust your heart and go after what makes you happy, even if it defies the norms of society is what is most important.

I would go back and tell myself not to be scared of college. I would also tell myself not to wait so long to continue my education. The work is not all that hard and you do great with the classes you attend. The time goes fast and your first year is over before you know it. The best part is the feeling you get when you finish a semester and kknowing you are one step closer to your career goal.

I would tell my self not to give up and to pursue my career until I further finish with a PH'D in Business Management .I would tell myself that there is more to life then just drinking and parting all night long.I would focuse 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in my studys and concentrade in bringing up my GPA.I would do as much Scholarships enteries as possible and succeed .

The advice that I would give to myself would be to finish high school because it opens opportunities for people. If I do not finish high school, I would not be able to have the foundational knowledge for college. Without this knowledge, I would not be able to succeed because I would have to go back and finish high school when I may not have had prior knowledge, making it very difficult to go higher up in business. Without a high school education, many people struggle to make ends meet. They often work jobs that pay very little that require many hours to be able to pay bills. Overall, finishing high school will open doors that no one can shut.

If I were to go back in time to my senior year I would have told myself to take more challenging classes. Going into my senior year I was not planning on becoming a nurse so I did not take anatomy which is something I really need for nursing. Also KI never studied alot before tests because I always knew I had homework to help out my garde and xtra credit. College is completely different. You don't have homework and you don't have extra credit. I honestly don't know how to study well, if i were to apply myself more in high school I would have better study strattagies and I would not be struggling in college. Those are the types of things I would have focused on more, rather than break up and the football game. I would tekk any senior now to really focus and study because it will only help them out in there college years.

Knowing what I know now I would tell myself to get more prepared and really look into what college life is all about and how to change your life the right ways so you can be sucessful.

In life you will need to make many choices, this requires a clear head and logical thinking. Don't get involved with things such as drugs and alcohol that will cloud your ability to think clearly. If you keep your mind clear and think things through, you won't make the same mistakes in life that I have. If you don't understand the consequences, I suggest you work a summer in a factory just to realize what making the wrong decisions can result in. You are an intelligent individual as your grades have shown, but the world is cruel and people will be trying to lead you in the wrong directions. Think things through and avoid substances that will alter your thinking pattern. You control your future; don't blame others and maintain control of your own actions. This is the best advice that I can give to anyone coming out of high school, because I remember making the mistakes that bring me back to college at the age of 46 to finish my degree.
